[Q] Brick??? - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
So I am quite a noob at doing such things, you should know this before reading this post. I went ahead and was booting cm11 for the first time after using seokhun's method, but found that my tablet was looping. I (foolishly) decided to reflash the .bin file from his post and start from scratch, but I ended up messing up the Kindle further. It flashes the orange logo three times, and then stays on the logo on the fourth time. Recovery doesn't work, and it won't boot into fastboot. Help!

Are you using a fastboot cable to get into fastboot?
>>>Sent from my homebuilt TARDIS running Android 4.4... or maybe it's a Kindle Fire HD running Cyanogenmod 11<<<

Can u boot into recovery.... I had a similar problem with my phone.... Try to wipe dalvik cache factory reset and then just flash another rom or reflash the Same rom...
Sent from my MIND using my BODY....(JUST KIDDING)

Can't get into recovery, and no, I am not using a fastboot cable. I ordered one today though. Will it work even with the hard bricks?

[Q] KFHD 7" stuck in boot loop HELP!

Hey guys,
So, I'm a noob here and I think I messed up badly. I had my kindle rooted and was attempting to install CyanogenMod using an app called fire flash as I was instructed. Now my kindle is stuck in a boot loop. The Kindle Fire logo is not animated and disappears and comes back... over and over again. I was originally trying to get CyanogenMod through a guide on Gizmodo but was experiencing some problems and decided to try the fire flash route. Does anyone have any info on how to fix the boot loop problem I'm facing?
Thank you!

Depends on what you did. Check my thread, and see what you did wrong. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
If you can access TWRP, and made a Nandroid backup, then reboot into TWRP and restore. Otherwise, if you can enter fastboot, then refer to number 4 in that thread.

Hey I ran into a similar situation, my logo is exactly as you described. Tomorrow I'm going to order a Fastboot cable, and hopefully be able to use that to flash a working bootloader. If anyone has any more updates on this situation, it would be greatly appreciated :laugh:

[Q] How to get custom rom onto device?

I'm finding it somewhat impossible to install a custom ROM on this currently useless device.
It is a Kindle Fire HD 7" (not the new HDX)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2271909
- Already tried it and the tablet goes into a bootloop once I restart, have to use factory cable to restore, apparently it doesn't work if your 7.30 or above

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2096888
I tried this to downgrade it to 7.2.1 but once completed the tablet said it cant boot and has to do a restore, then it goes back to 7.30. There is a 7.2.3 option too but I never tried it.
I don't know what to do all I want is to get rid of this stupid crap rom but if I can't I'll just have to use a launcher... any ideas?
When you boot looped did the kindle fire logo turn blue?
The first link should work fine for installing twrp the issue with 7.3 is the boot loader and the entire reason you install the freedom boot part.
It should install twrp and at the same time most likely boot loop your device.
Just try using the key combo if twrp doesn't automatically load.
After installing twrp you need to already have a rom on your sd card and to immediately install it.
I would recommend to try the first link again.

Yessir I already tried it 2 times. First is when I first got my Kindle and had to wait a month for a fast boot cable. I tried again but still boot loops again on the Kindle Fire logo, really frusterating.

Use your fastboot cord and try using this tool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 this is a root with restore.

What version is your stock software? If you have the new refresh of the KFireHD (2013) then the 2nd bootloader exploit wont work for you.

[Q] Boot Loop CM11

Hi there,
Anyone that could help me with my KFHD 7"
I run TWRP v2.6.3.1, and installed CM-11-20140114-UNOFFICIAL-tate and gapps-kk-20140105.
The first installation went fine and it booted using the new CM. However, next time I booted, it got stuck in boot loop on the blue KFHD logo.
I can enter TWRP, but it fails when I run recovery of any previous versions.
I have a factory cable.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

You tried factory resetting from recovery?

Kindle fire HD stuck at teamwin boot icon.

Stuck on in bootloop, i wiped my kindle fire HD of everything, now when i boot it up it goes directly to the twrp boot icon and does not do anything. It flashes occasionally. I can boot into fastboot but that is all. Please help.
I tried booting into fastboot and typing
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery TWRP.img but to no avail.
I solved it by tinkering around in KFFirstAide.
Tried reinstallling KFHD 7.2.4
then tried reinstalling TWRP with it.
I have no idea what made it suddenly work (probably the wiping of the cache) but if you have the same issue, just do what i did.

Kindle Fire HD TWRP logo bootloop

Hey guys. Awhile back I installed cyanogenmod onto my parents kindle fire hd in order to give them a speedier experience since the stock rom was starting to get slow. It worked great! until my mom decided she did not like this OS anymore and tried formatting the device from within the OS. Now whenever I try to boot it up, it shows the red fire logo and then the blue fire logo but then goes into the TWRP loading screen. Here, it just keeps flashing the TWRP logo and won't let me do anything. The adb status is offline. I tried using the unbrick utility to no avail. Any suggestions?

You're going to need a fastboot cable. You can find them on eBay. Once you have that, you can push a new recovery image and rom to the kindle and flash it. Then tell your mom to read up on this site before tweaking!
